Hi,
I would like to add to the list with an engraver of Turkish Banknotes.
Selahattin Tuğa (born in 1945, died in 2023)
He engraved Atatürk portraits on various banknotes. even engraved his name on the engravings of the sixth issue 1.000 Lira banknotes.
Selahattin Tuğa was born in Diyarbakır, Türkiye in. He graduated from the Decorative Arts Department of the Istanbul State Academy of Fine Arts in 1966.
While a student at the academy, he engraved pictures and portraits on copper plates. Due to these works, he was recommended to the Banknot Printing House engraving workshop. He was employed at the CBRT Banknot Printing House in 1966. During his internship, he received his first information about the intaglio engraving technique from Polish engraving artist Jan Piwczyk.
